I know that, that was why I put the smiley after the statement that it looked like that, not that it was actually rifled.BigBill wrote:
The slug was not 'rifled' in manufacturing.
In the photo - the 'rifling' in the slug was cut by the jacket when the slug slid out.
Note the expansion cuts in the jacket mouth - the left edge is curled over.
Bullet Puller pulled a bullet right out of its jacket

It's hard to believe that happened. I wouldn't think you could get a crimp tight enough on a 45acp to have that happen. Especially with no crimp groove.

Nothing surprises me when JHP's are involved. I've tested them in phone books and seen just about every kind of scenario - some behave just like FMJ's and don't expand one bit - some the jacket slips right off and opens up while the core penetrates without much deformation - a few work flawlessly. I guess that's why I'm a big fan of hardcast, wide meplat projectiles.

Yea but your talking about jacket seperation on fired rounds not from a bullet puller. Totally different comparison.glocksmith wrote:Nothing surprises me when JHP's are involved.
